1988 Marin Pine Mountain £175 Posted Size 18.5"

[Spanky22b]

Decided to split my 18.5" 1988 Marin Pine Mountain down because i want to use the parts for my 88 Montana to get that up and running,it's been up in the loft for to long now.

The Tange Prestige frame has no cracks or dents,the original silver/lilac paintwork is in good condition for it's age with just the usual wear and tear chips etc and the same with the original Tange forks.
I'd gave everything a really good clean and polish and then put the replacement decals on from Gil-M which are perfect.
What you get is the frame and forks,original Marin stem and the original Shimano Deore BB. There's also the Shimano Deore headset and the original Kalloy seatclamp.
Frame size measures 18.5" from centre of BB to the top of the seatube.
BB width 68mm
Seatpost size 26.6mm

Re:

Changed my mind again,decided to sell the pine mountain as a full bike.

£210 PayPal gift payment or add the extra 4% for the trade option.

As i mentioned in the post above,the frame and forks have no cracks or dints just the usual patina on a 29 year old bike. The replacement decals were from Gil-M so are high quality.
All the parts were cleaned and polished and the only main part which is not standard is the back wheel,which is a M-732 Deore XT rear hub on a Mavic M231 rim.
The only thing different on the bike from the photo is the seatpost quick release has been changed back to the original Kalloy one.
It's got a new 7 speed HG Shimano cassette with a new HG Shimano chain but i'll include a new uniglide 6 speed cassette aswell which is what it had standard spec also the XT hub takes both types of cassettes.
The bike is an 18/18.5" depends where you measure it from,18" from the top of the BB shell to the top of the seatube or 18.5" taken from the centre of the BB to the same point.
There's more photos of the bike on the build thread.

Uk postage only.

I'm 5ft 10" Sam and the bike fits me perfectly,you sit nice and comfortable. Your not to far stretched out like a full on race bike set up but also it's not what i would call a sit up and beg riding position.

Re:

Thanks for height info. I'm 6'1 so to small it seems. Lovely bike though.
